And this is why I'm wary of Hearse. |

It's a utility that allows people to exchange bones files by uploading and downloading them automatically from a particular website.
In Nethack each time you die there is a chance of a bones file being created. It contains the level, the items you carrying (mostly cursed now), your (if any), your pet (probably hostile now)...and of course whatever killed you.
The trouble with bones files is whatever killed the last is probably quite powerful. And if the last had any powerful pets, things can get really nasty for the next . Even worse, if he dies there too, a new bones file may be created adding his pets, items, and to the level. This can go on and on.
Automatic uploading and downloading of bones files can mean the propagation of near-impossible levels. --This sabotages the fun of players who consider backup files a kind of cheating.

I don't know about this being such a negative thing. Before my last computer (Casper) died, it was very difficult to ever make it into the top ten because the bones compilations had been stacking up for about 2-3 years. There often graves and ghosts, often characters (old selves) I recognized and remembered fondly -- even as my new self slayed his/her way through their incorporeal bodies, at last laying them to rest... It was just hard killing my dogs.
GAWD. WHY - ALWAYS - THE DOGS??? |

I would probably recommend this utility... to extremely advanced players. |

The best way to play is on a multi server. You get everyone's bones! |

My primary job, as I see it, is to assemble other people's ascension kits! |
